Lin Xuan's mind went blank and she fainted.
The system was stunned and didn't dare to say anything for a long time.
Xie Shizhu raised his eyebrows. "How is it? Is it accurate?"
The system swallowed its saliva: [Host, you are so venomous, so venomous…]
"So, don't mess with me," Xie Shizhu said with a sigh, his tone relaxed. "Want to replace me? Dream on."
The system trembled, warning itself to be careful with its words and actions. If it provoked her one day, its life would probably be in danger.
[Host, you might as well just shoot her to death with one arrow.]
"Aren't you even more vicious than me?" Xie Shizhu chuckled. "Rather than killing her, wouldn't it be more fun to destroy her again and again? Next time, it'll be the other eye."
The system took a deep breath, shivered, and thought to itself, what a pervert!
The Queen Mother opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and her hands hidden in her sleeves trembled with anger.
The civil and military officials were stunned, everyone held their breath, and no one dared to speak.
Xie Shizhu's face was pale as she fell off the horse, and the bow and arrow in her hand were thrown to the ground. Her lips were bloodless.
Yan Chou got off his horse, frowned slightly, and helped the frightened Xie Shizhu up.
Xie Shizhu's eyes were red and wet. She subconsciously hooked her arms around Yan Chou's waist, resting her chin on her shoulder, and said with a nasal voice, "I didn't mean it..."
Yan Chou reached out and gently stroked her back, his dark eyes hiding strange emotions, his voice softer than before: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
As soon as the words fell, the Empress Dowager ran over angrily, her face blue and black, and roared, "Emperor, what is the Empress doing? Lin Xuan is my maid, and she actually hurt my people!"
Elsewhere, the Regent jumped off his horse in a hurry. Just as he was about to run over to help Xie Shizhu explain, Fang Yiran's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction. He clutched his stomach and murmured, "It hurts."
Yan Xiuran paused and looked back at her. Seeing Fang Yiran's facial features wrinkled, he whispered, "Are you okay?"
Fang Yiran bit her lip and said, "I was frightened just now, and it seems to have affected the Regent's child as well."
She deliberately emphasized the word "Regent".
Yan Xiuran felt a little guilty, so he had to comfort Fang Yiran first.
Yan Chou looked at the Queen Mother calmly and said slowly, "Queen Mother, you were the one who asked the Queen to shoot the arrow. If there's any blame to be placed on you, it's not the Queen's turn."
The Empress Dowager was stunned, her lips moving in and out, unable to find the words to reply, and could only remain silent.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that it's Ai's fault?"
Yan Chou hugged the still trembling Xie Shizhu tightly, staring at the empress dowager, and remained silent.
The Empress Dowager shook her sleeves, took a deep breath, turned around and walked to the unconscious Lin Xuan, then asked Chang Qing to take her and Lin Xuan back home.
As soon as she left, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Xie Shizhu came back to his senses from the shock and realized that he had been in Yan Chou's arms. He quickly took a step back.
Yan Chou closed his eyelids slightly and looked at her, with a dark tide in his eyes.
Then he turned to the still motionless ministers and said, "We can't let this little thing ruin your fun."
As soon as he finished speaking, the court officials rode their horses and fled from here, heading towards the edge of the grassland.
Yan Chou turned around, easily sat on the horse with his long legs, and pulled the reins.
Yan Chou's back was getting farther and farther away from Xie Shizhu, and then disappeared from her sight.
Xie Shizhu wiped her tears and climbed onto the horse's back with difficulty.
Yan Xiuran glanced at Xie Shizhu as he left, then shifted his gaze to Fang Yiran. He said softly, "You're pregnant and frightened. Rest here. I'll come back to find you after the hunt is over."
Fang Yiran nodded: "Okay."
Yan Xiuran mounted his horse without hesitation and followed Xie Shizhu.
*
When we reached the depths of the grassland, the trees were thick and the shade was deep, and the ground was soft and wet.
Xie Shizhu pulled the reins and stopped in the shade. Just as she was about to dismount, she heard a sound behind her and turned her head to look.
When Yan Xiuran saw Xie Shizhu's appearance, his heart couldn't help but beat wildly, just like when they first met.
She had a slender figure and skin as white as winter snow. There was a hint of red at the corners of her eyes, and her eyelashes were like butterfly wings, slightly covering her eyes, leaving a faint shadow under her eyes. Her lips were slightly open in surprise.
Yan Xiuran's throat tightened, and he called out softly, "Xie Shizhu."
Xie Shizhu withdrew his gaze, staring at the steep cliff opposite, and said indifferently: "Regent, we are not close enough to call each other by name."
Yan Xiuran was slightly stunned, and the hand holding the reins paused: "Queen, I'm sorry."
Xie Shizhu took a deep breath and curled the corners of his lips, "Regent, congratulations."
"I..." Yan Xiuran's back stiffened. "I didn't expect Fang Yiran to be pregnant. Besides, this was all Yan Chou's trap. I don't have any feelings for her."
Xie Shizhu sneered in his heart, "See? A pure scumbag."
System: [Alas...]
"No feelings?" Xie Shizhu gritted his teeth and said excitedly, "Could it be that Yan Chou put a knife to your neck and made you... have sex with Fang Yiran?"
Yan Xiuran was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained: "I really didn't do this voluntarily."
Xie Shizhu didn't want to hear his voice anymore, so he rode his horse towards the mountains.
A trace of hurt flashed across Yan Xiuran's face, but he didn't give up and continued to follow her.
Xie Shizhu: "...Why can't I get rid of this thing?"
The system laughed out loud: [Hahahaha, she runs away and he chases her, she can't escape even if she has wings.]
Because it was close to the mountainside, the ground was full of large and small stones. The horse's hooves hit the protruding rocks in front and suddenly it tilted sideways uncontrollably.
